Support for Windows XP

Hi All

According to System Requirements for Visual Studio 2012, Windows XP SP 3 is supported. But when I checked out Framework 4.5 System Requirement, Windows XP wasn't among the supported Operating System.

Can anyone clarify if .Net 4.5 is actually supported or not in Windows XP ?

Thanks

Anu

Hello Anu Viswan.

Windows XP is not supported for the installation of the .NET Framework 4.5: you can read more about this at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8z6watww.aspx.
Talking about Visual Studio 2012, Windows XP is supported as a target Platform (with some exceptions), not as an installation Platform: you can read more about this at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compatibility.

Bye.
